Technical Scope

The Pipeline Protection Conference, now in its fourth decade, has since its inception brought together experts knowledgeable in good practices for today’s pipelines and the latest techniques to counter tomorrow’s challenges.

 The oil and gas industry has always sought the latest methodologies for protecting its pipelines. Demands from the water and waste industry across the World for higher performances and longer useful life from their pipelines are growing ever greater. Safety and security are paramount for suppliers and operators alike, and in some countries certification is already demanded as proof of standard. 

For owners, designers, financiers, suppliers, constructors and operators of pipelines, the Pipeline Protection Conference offers an unrivalled European gathering of the World's experts and the capacity to provide the answers to fundamental problems

Debate, The protection package - time for a review?

Pipeline protection has always revolved around coatings and cathodic protection and this 'package', correctly designed and applied, can be very successful.
Over recent years, however, we have often seen an imbalance between these two elements. Furthermore, having developed many more refined techniques of corrosion assessment, the ‘package’ needs reviewing and updating. Listen, learn and contribute to the debate to help protect our pipes well into the 21st Century.

Technical Proceedings

As always, a proceedings volume and CD of the papers presented at the Conference is included in the delegate price of the Conference. The volume will be available for sale to non-attendees following the conference.
